im using armserver.no-ip.org because i have both a client and server behind a NAT so you pretty much have too.
Ive opened up ports...
5995-6000
7885 8000
8995 9000
just to be careful ...
I really doubt its a firewall issue for 2=3 reasons..
1. Its works perfectly when you sub in 5.3dr2 binaries
2. Ive been running servers on this exact setup since about 5.2 without a hitch.
3. I can setup it to run on minilogin and still cant see server on select screen
Well i didnt mean to cast a shadow on anything shawn319 was doing, in fact i appreciate his efforts. However i did want to go into detail about the compiler and code i was using as i thought it was relevant.
I did in fact do a full pull down of CVS code last night and compiled with stock options and still faced the same problem..
I wonder if ms visual net 2003 is somehow factored into this, being that obviously some people can run the exact same code perfectly fine?
I took a screenshot of world.exe and zones being loaded up just fine, but you can see from the netstat pic on right that there is in fact NO connection between world server and my computer that i can see.
